lie it known that l. llnsnnnurn ll. Funnnit.

a eitizen of the tnited States. residing at; Bridgeport. in the eonnty of Fairlield and State of Conneotieut. have invented certain new and useful Improvements in (lash-liegisters. of which I dot-tare the. following to be a full, elear. and exaet deseription.

This invention relates to improvements in east] registers, the primary object being to devise :au-h a meehanisni whieh is adapted to be transported from plai'e to place by the opm'ator.

The present maehine is designed to regisler amounts and issue eheeks printed eommensnrate with these amounts. the eheeks being issued as re'eeipts, and is small enough to be readily earried in at ease having a supporting strap stung over the shoulder of the operator.

The register is provided with a detail strip and due to its portable eapability is well adapted 'l'fir use by ire. milk. newspaper. gas and eleetrieity bill outlet-tors and in fact by t'olli't'tul's of all 'sults sinee the maehiue is a safeguard for the emphrver ol' the eolh tor due to the printed reeord and also for the payer furnishing him with a receipt.

\Vith these and ineitlelital' objeets in view. the invention eonsists in eertaln novel leatures: of eonstruetion and eoinbinatiotis of parts. the essential elements of whieb are set forth in appended elai ns. and a pret'erred form of emlanliment' of w'hieh is lu- 'einalter described with rel'erenee to tho drawing 'illt'll aeeompany and form part of the apeeiliration.

Referring now to the drawings in detail Ill whi h like referent-e numerals dgsignate similar pa rt throughout the various figures. it will be seen that the o wrating elements for the register are ineloaed by a suitable eabinet or easing I. By referring to Figs. 2. 3. 4. (i and 7 it will be seen that, all

of the operating elements of the nieehanism are supported within a framework eonsisting of a horizontal wall 2. vertieal wall 3 amt vertieally extending laraeket -lseeured to the wall 2 at the points 5 and tied to the vertieal wall 3 ilrv a brave (i seenred to the braeket be a aerew T and to the wall 3 by a serew H." The flainework also tUIIIPI'lSPS an L sh: tied braeket ll, the l ori'/.onlal leg ill of whii'h is provided with a plurality of vertically extending ears 11 which are secured to the vertical wall 3 by means of screws 12.

i Broadly speaking the mechanism comrises type setting means, a totelizer, paper 'eeds, a ribbon, a spring actuated platen and a crank handle which provides means for operating the totalizer, taking an impremion and returning the type setting segments to normal osition.

The elements the mechanism will now be described in detail, the description of each element being taken up in the order. as far as possible, in which it performs its sequence of operation in the functions of the register. In the operation of the machine the operator first sets the various type wheels. which is accomplished by means of opera-ting levers 13 which project outside the cabinet 1 through slots 1311 on the spaces between which are inscribci'l integers 9 to 0 and also dashes. These integers represent various on its of a monetary system. The levers 13 are moved along in the slots in the direction of the arrow until they are opposite the deei cd integ rs at which time the associated type wheels have correspondingly beeu set. the setting being accomplished by means of a segment 34 securedto each handle 13 and loosely mounted upon a horizontally disposed shaft 1:3 secured at one end to the wall 3 and at its other end to the bracket 4. ()nc portion of the segment is provided with teeth 16 which coiiperate with the totalizer. hereafter to bc described. and another portion of the segment with teeth 17 which are in constant mesh with pinions 18, see Fig. 4.

secured to the sides of type wheels 19 whi h the operating bundles functions of the nmchinc arc occasio'icd by are rotatably mounted upon a horizontally disposed shaft 520 secured at one end in the wall 3 and :it its other in the bracket 4. The type wheels 19. above described. contain type rcpresenting numerals from I to 9 and and in dash, which luiructers correspond with thecbaructcrs inscribed on the space bctwcen tbcslots Hill of the casing l. 'l'hrcc datc printing type wheels .21 (Fig. 7) arc hlso rerolubly mounted upon the shaft 2%) having secured thereto pinions 22 which are in constant mesh with the gear tccth 23 of si-egmcnts 24 (Fig. 3) loosely mounted upon tlic slinlt l and having integral tlltll with operating levers 25 extending through slots 26 made in the casing l. the spaces bciwccn the slots being inscribed with clmractcrs representing the various months and days of the month.

.\ ftcr the type wheels have been set by all thc rtt ol' the turning a crnnl: handlc 27 one revolution. This handle is pinned to a shaft 23. referring to Figs. 5. 7 and H). rcvolublv supported at one end in the vcl'ticullv extending ln'ackct 25 Inning a borizrmtnlly extending car 30 secured to the horizontal leg 10 of the L shaped bracket 9. A latch and full stroke device is provided for the shaft 28 which provides means for normally locking the crank handle 27 at the completion of one revolution of the handle and also means for preventin a reversal of the crank handle after it has once been released and turned to actuate the elements of the register. This device, referring to Fig. 10. com rises a snailed cam 31 fast upon the shaft 28 and provided with fine ratchet 'teeth 32 on its )eri hcry. (o6 ratin with l H P L the cam 31 is a pa et 33 pirotally mounted upon a stud 34 seemed to the wall 3 of the framework. T he pallet 33 has one nose 3:: in position to engage the. fine teeth 32 of the cam 31 and held in engagement with the said teeth by means of a coiled spring 36. The pallet 33 is also provided with u downwardly extending arm 37 offset sufficiently to permit a notch 38 madc in the lower end thereof to cooperate with .l pin 39 extending out from the face of tlucam 31 adjacent the wall 3 of the frnmcwork. The rotation of the shaft 2H. currving the cam Iii with it. in tbc direction ndicated by the arrow. will rock the arm 1 of the pallet 33 toward and away from the periphery of the cam ll. the nosc ot' the said pallet riding over the ratchet tee h 32. As the nose 35 reaches the last tooth on the cam. the notch 38 of be lever 37 will be rocked toward the periphery of the cum :1 distance sutlicient to be engaged by and lock the pin 39 curried thereby. Inthis way the rotation of the shaft 28 through the crank handle 27 is limited undnlso the saidsbaft locked at the end of one ctnnplete revolution. \Vhen it is desired to release the handle 29 a slight pressure is exerted to more the handle 27 counter-clockwise which. due to the tangential shape of the notch 38, will roll-use the pin 39 from the notch 39 and permit tbc nose 35 of the pallet 33 to be brought doww ward into engagement with the teeth 32 of the cam 31 undcr the action of the spring 36. The crank handle 27 may now bc revolved. but when it has once startcd and the cam 31 revolved thereby. the said h'mdlc may not be reversed due to thc cngugcmcntoi' the nose 35 of the pallet 33 with thc ratchet teeth 32 on the periphery of the cam. From the foregoing it will be appurcnt that the pallet 33 not only servcs as thc locking pawl. as is common in such coustructions, but also serves as the pawl for cooperating with the full stroke mechanism. Due to this construction. the operation to rclezisc the handle 27. simultuneouslv causcs the setting of the full stroke mechanism.

A ftcr tne crank handle has been rclenscd the first function caused by its actuation is thc aking of ,an impression from the set typc wheels H7. The rotation of the shaft which a resilient platen 57 is secured.

arm 54 clockwise.-

25 by the handle :27. referring to Figs. 3 and 13. revolves a gear 4" pinned to the. said shaft which gear meshes with a gear -ll fast upon a shaft 42 revoluhly mounted in hearings formed in the vertical wall 3 of the framework and the vertical wall of the bracket 9. l'inned to the shaft 42 is a snail cam 43. A forked lever 46 is rotatahly mounted upon a stud shaft 47 secured at one end to the vertical wall 3 of the framework and at its other end to a bracket 48. The bracket 48. see Fig. 4., is'supported upon the shaft 42 and upon a shaft 49 which in turn is secured at one end to the wall -5 of the framework and at its other end to the vertical leg of the L shaped bracket 9. One arm 50 of the forked lever 46 is provided withea nose 51 cooperating with a pin 52 secured upon the adjacent face of one arm 54 of a hell crank lever 53 loosely mounted upon the shaft 49. A spring 441 strained between a stud 44 carried by the outer end of the other arm 45 of the forked said arm 54 has its upper end bent at right angles to'form a flange 55 to which is secured a platen supporting block 56 within The other arm 58 of the hell crank 53 carries on its outer, end a pin 59 having a flat side (it). The operation of the parts just described is as follows: The snail cam 43 is rotated clockwise (Fig- 3) hy the crank handle 27 through the gears 41 and 40, and. engaging with the pin 59 carried hy the lever 58 of the hell crank 53 will rock the The clockwise. movement of the arm 54 will, through the medium of the pin 52 and nose M of the arm 50, rock the other arm 45 of the lever 46 counter clockwise and put the spring 441 under tension. \Vhcn the cam 43 has been rotated suliiciently to position the highest point of its periphery ahove the fiat side lit) of the pin 59. at which time the. platen 57 has been moved clockwise away from the type wheels 19. the further movement of the cam will free the said pin. permitting the arm 54 to he rocked counter-chickwise. see Fig. I under the influence of the forked lever 4.1 which engages the pin 52 with one arm 5!). and is rocked downwardly by the spring 4-H attached to its opposite arm 45. The tension put upon the spring 441 is snllicient, upon the release of the lever 54. to force. the. platen 37 against the type wheels 'I!) with cousidt-rahlc for e. the length of its impression movement lacing limited *y a pin 52l cnliicil hy the bracket 48 engaging the arm Til. i

'l'lu actuation of the platen 57. ahm'e dcriIw-d. causes two impressions to he made. one upon a check strip and the other upon a detail strip.

' thcrehetween.

The check strip 61 is fed from a storage roll 62 rotatahly mounted upon a shaft 63 carried hy the vertical wall it of the framework. vertically upwardly hetweeu feed rollerr; 04. referrin; to Figs. 2, 4 and 6, carried hy each end of a sleeve (55. loosely mountrd upon a shaft 66 and a resilient roller 7 loosely mounted upon ashaft 68 secured at each end in levers [it] loosely mounted upon the shaft 20. A spring 70 wrapped about the shaft 20 and connected at one end to a shaft 106 carried by the framework and at its other end to a Stud 72 carried by one of the levers 6!). serves to hold the roller (37 against the rolls G4. rod 73 passes through openings 74 made in the levers 6!) and hashearings at one end in the vertical wall 3 of the framework and at its other end in the vertical bracket 4. The opening 74 has a diameter considerahly greater than the diameter of the shaft 73 and the said shaft is )rovided with eeccntric portions 75 whic lie within the openings 74. (hie end of the rod 7: protrudes heyond the vertical bracket 4 and is provided with a transverse pin T6 which )rovides a hand engaging means for turning: the shaft counter-clockwise, which through the medimnof the eccentric portions 75 will rock the levers (59 counterclockwise and separate the rolls ($7 and 6-: so that the check strip (pl may he threaded The means for feeding the check strip from the storage roll (32 up- .wardly hetw'eon the rolls (i4- and 67 will he hereafter dcscrihed in the regular order in which this function occurs during the. sequence of operations of the. machine.

The detail Strip (Fig. 4) is fed from a supply roll 77. rotatahly mounted upon a shaftT-i secured at one end to the vertical wall 3 of the framework, forwardly and downwardly hencatlra shield 7%). hereafter in he described. over a rollertltl revoluhly mounted upon a shaft 81 and thence carried vertically downwardly beneath a roller 82, rcvoluhly mounted upon the shaft 4!). and the brace rod 442. to a storage roll 83. revoluhly mounted upon a shaft 84 secuit d at one end to the vertical wall 30f the amework. The means for feeding the detail strip from the supply roll 77 to the storage roll '83 will he descrihed. later. in the sequence in which this function occurs during the operation of the machine.

From the foreeoin description it will he seen that hoth the c leek strip and the dctail strip are fed from their sup )ly rolls. between the type wheels in and tie platen 57 at which point they are opposite each other and snhstantially'parallel.

lit-tween the said chwk strip and detail strip an endless rihhon no is interposed. rcl'crring to Figs. 4 and 7. 'lhc said rihhon 85 is moved in the direction of the. arrow around vertically disposed rolls revolubly i are secured at their lower ends to the horizontal portionlt) of the bracket 9 and at their upper ends in horizontally extending lips 88 formed on a framework 89 which forms a brace between the two shafts. This framework also has verticallv disposed cars 90 within which the ends at the shaft 81 are secured. The ribbon band 85 thence passes around a vertically extending stud 91 secured to the horizontal portion 11) of the framework and then between a felt ink roll 92 secured upon a hub 93 rotatably mounted upon a. vertically extending stud shaft .11 secured in the bracket 11) and a felt ink roll 95 secured to a hub 96 rotatably mounted upon a stud shaft 97 secured to one'a rm 98 of a bell crank 99 pivotallv mounted upon a vertically extending stud 11111 secured to the bracket 11). A spring 101 is strained be tween the other arm 102 of the bell crank 99 and the bracket 10 providing means for nor mally holding the felt rolls 92 and 5 in a position to grip the ribbon band 5 between them. After passing between the rolls 9! and 95 the ribbon passes over a roller 111:1 loosely mounted upon the stud shaft 101i and thence around a roller 11H rotatahiy mounted upon a verticallyextending stud 105 secured to the horizontally extending portion 11) of the bracket 9. Means. hereafter to be described, is provided {or revolving the hub 93, which gripping the ribbon H5 between it and the ink roll 95. will serve to feed the ribbon over the various rollers before described. in the direction indicated by the arrow. The spcr'ilic description of the ribbon feed will be set forth later in the sequence in which this function occurs during the oicration of the inarhine. From the foregoing it will be seen that the ilnprcs :ion movement. of the platen :37 will squeeze the ink ribbon band H5, check strip and detail strip. between it and the type wheels 19 and cause an imprcssimi to be made both upon the check strip and the detail strip. The arrangement of the parts is su h that our impression will be made upon the check lli{i and a reversed impression upon the delail strip and as a consequence the detail strip is made of transparent paper so that the impression may he read lln-rclhrougli.

The manner of setting the type wheels. releasing the crank handle and rocking and releasing thc platen for taking an impress ;.ion has been described. These operations occur so tinordci' nn-ntioncd but during the vol-king of the platen. means is operated for locking and alining the type wheels so that they will not be disturbed by the force of lllt impression of the platen. This lo king and aliuing means comprises. referring to Fig. l. a plurality of pallets 1115 pivotally mounted upon a shaft 1 6 secured at one end to the vertical wall 3 of the framework and at its other end in the vertical bracket 4. These oallets 195 are positioned on the shaft 106 by spacing collars (not shown) in a position whereby one nose 10? thereof coopcrates with the gears 18 secured to the type wheels. A coiled spring 108' strained between the pallet and a brace rod 109 extending between the opposite walls of the frame work provides means for normally holding the nose 107 in contact with the teeth of the gears 18. The said nose. however, is so shaped that when the gears 18 are revolved by the segments 14 in setting type each tooth of the wheel 13 will'cam the nose 107 downwardly. The pallets 105 are also provided with a no. 110 which coiiperates with a bail 111 carrier by parallel arranged L shaped arms 112 loosely mounted upon the shaft 106 adjacent the inner sides of the walls 3 and 4 of the framework. Each of the arms 112 is prohided with a stud 113 which coiiperates with a nose 114 'formed on anarm 115 one of which is secured to each of the arms .17. which arms are arranged parallel and are pirotally mounted upon the shaft 15 carrying at their outer ends a horizontally extending bail 118. the purpose of which wi 1 be hereinafter described. Referring now to Figs. 5 and 14, it will he sci-n that one of the arms 117 isof bell crank formation. having an arm 1181 carr ing on its outer end a pin 119 which fits within a slot 1211 formed in one end of a downwardly extending member 121 which is one arm of a three armed lever 1211 pivotall v mounted upon the shaft 49. Another arm 12:: of the lever 1:211 extends rearwardly and carries adjacent its outer end an antil'riction roller 1231 which runs upon the periphery of a com 124. fast to the shaft 42. The third arm 125 of the lever extends upwardly substantially vertical and carries on its upper end an anti-friction roller 126 engaging with the periphery of a ram 127 fast upon the shaft 42. The cams 124 and 127 are secured to each other and together form what is known in the art as a double late cam." The arms 122 and 125 serve to 1011']. the rollers carried by each arm in contact with its respective plate of the cam. each arm compensating for the movement of the other. Simultaneous with the rocking of the platen 57 through the rotation of the shaft 42 the ram 124 engaging the roller 123 rocks the arms 12! and 121 clockwise, which throughlhc pin and slot connection with the lever 11M rocks the arms 117 counter-clockwise engaging the noses 1 14 of the levers 115 with the pins 113 carried by the levers 112. A nose 11-1 upon engaging the pin 113 cams it downwardly. the bail 111 carried by the said levers engaging the noses 111) of the pallets 1 17i and forcing the other noses 107 of the said pallets into engagementwith the teeth oooo 'xm the totalizer into operative connection with.

the segments 1 4 so that the return movement of the said segments to home position will accumulate on the totalizcr the amount set up on the type wheels. This means coinprises (Figs. 5 and IT) a lever 128 loose upon the shaft 49 the outer end of which carries a stud shaft 121) to which is pivoted a bell crank lever 1311. one arm 131 of the. said bell crank being provided with a stud 132. A spring 133 wrapped about a pin 134' secured to the arm 128 has one end in engagement with the stud 132 and its other end secured to the lever 128 and irovides means for normally holding the ot ier arm 135 of the hell crank 130 in contact'with a pin 136, the said pin resting within a notch 0 137 made in the said. arm. The pin 136 is carried by a depending portion 138 of a framework 139 which is pivotally mounted upon a shaft 140 rotatably mounted at one end in the vertical wall 3 and at its other end in the vertical bracket 4 of the framework. The framework 139 is held in its normal position, illustrated in Fig. 5, by means of a coiled spring 1401 which is strained between arear vardly extending arm 141 of the framework 39 and the shaft 106, said spring holding the outer end 142 of the lever 111 against a pin 143 secured to the. vertical wall 3 of the framework. The'lever 128 is provided with an arm 1281, referrin to Fig. 17, which carries upon its outer em an anti-friction roller 1282 006 )erating with acam groove 1283 made in the gear 41, the rotation of the said shaft moving the lever 128 clockwise which will cause an extension 144. referring to Fig. 5. made on the. arm 13.) of the hell crank 131) to cam against the pin 136 and rock the framework 132) clockwise. 'lhc totalizer. hereafter to he described. is secured to the framework 131) and the rocking movement of the framework will cause a movement of the totalizer upwardly a distance sufiicient to bring it into operative connection with the seg meat-s 14.

The totalizer itself, referring particn larlv to Figs. 3, 4 and 8. comprises two substantially rectangular shaped frameworks 145, one of which is secured to the framework 139 so as to be actuated thereby. and the other totalizer framework rocks freely upon its pivotal support on the shaft H1). The accumulating elements referring to Figs. 1 and R. comprise thin disks 147 having gears 148 secured to one side there- 'ot' cooperating with .each of which is an actuating dctent H9 pivotally mounted upon a shaft 150 secured at each end to opposite corners of the frameworks 14'. The said detcnts are shaped like the. anchor of an cscapemcnt and areprovided with two oppositely positioned tines 1:31 and 152, a spring 153 strained between a downwardl extending tail 15-1 integral with the detent H9 and the tail 155 of a pawl 156 pivoted n ion a shaft 1561 secured to the framewor 5 1-15. normally holding the tine 152 in en agement with. the gear 14H. as is'showii in l ig. 4. The gears 148 are thrown in mesh with the teeth 11' formelilon the segments 14. when the framcwork 139 is rocked. as previously described. and during the return movement of the segments to return tl e'type WlWtls' and operating levers 13 to normal position. the gears 148, there being one for each segment. will he rotatei'l connter-clockwisc. Immediately following the impression stroke of the platen 57 the cams 121 and 12? cause a counter-clockwise movement of the arm 121 so that the hail 118 is swung upwardlv. The said bail isniovahle within cutout portiolls 1-111, referring to Fig. =1. made in the segments 14 and the upward movement of the said hail brings it into engagement with faces 11511 of those segments which have been moved to set the type wheels. and returns them to their normal position. The return of the set segments 14 to their normal position rotates the gears 14% of the. totalizer associated therewith so that the amount printed by the type wheels is accumulated on the totalizer. During this movement of the gears 14%; each tine 15:! will be depressed as it comes in contact with each tooth thereof and operates as a retaining pawl and since the said tine is in engagement with the gear 148 at the time when the said gear is disengaged from the teeth 16 of the segment it also serves as an aligner or retaining pawl for preventing retrograde movement of the gear 148. When one of the gears H8 has made a complete revolution, or in other words has passed from zero to 9. a pin 157 secured 10 the disk 1-17 on the side opposite to the gear 148 will come in contact with a nose 15h formed on a secondary detent 159 which is loosely mounted upon the shaft. 151). The further movement of the gear 118, occasioned by its passing from 9 to (1. causes a clockwise movement of the secondary detent 159 which raises a pin 1G0 carried by the said detent into engagement with a face 161 formed on the actnatingdetent 149 directly beneath the tine 151 thereof. The

pin 160 is held in this position by means of the nose 162 of the pawl 156 engaging a notch 163 made in the secondary detent 159. The nose162 of the pawl 156 is normally held in enga ement with a notch 164 made in the secon ary detent 159, as is 11- lustrated in Fig. '4, the movement of the said detent under the actuation of the pin 157 causi the displacement of the nose 162 from fiie notch 164 and its lodgment within the notch 163, as previously described. When the secondary detent 159 has been rocked so that the pin 160 lies against the actuating face 161 of the actuating detcnt 149 a promotion 165 formed into ml with the nose 158 of the secondary etent 159 will be placed in a position to be engaged by a. cam 166, referring to Fi 8,, fast upon the shaft 140. It is to be un erstood that there are a plurality of cams 166 mounted upon the shaft 140 one cam 006perating with each of the projections 165 of the secondary detents and these cams are arranged s irally about the said shaft as shown in ig. 4, After. the amount set up on the type wheels has been transferred to the gears 148 by the return of the segments 14 to normal position and the various secondar dctents 159 have been set, as previously escribed, the gears 148 are disengaged from the teeth 16 of the segments 14. The disengagement of the gears 148 Is accomplished by the cam groove 1283 in the gear 41 and the roller 1282 on the drum 1281 which, after the return of the segments 14 to normal position causes a counter-clockwise movement of the lever 128 which returns the bell crank 130 to its normal position permitting the pin 136 to be rocked within the recess 137 formed within the bell crank 130 by means of the spring 1401. The spring 1401 in returni the pin 136 to its normal position rocks 1; e frame 139 counterclockwise and this frame being connected to one of the counter frames 145 will cause the said frame also to be rocked countcrclockwise and thereby disengage the gears 148 from the teeth 16 of the segments. After the disengagement of the gears 1-46 from the gear teeth 16 of the segments [-4 means is provided for giving the shaft 141] a revolution so that the cams,166, spirall mounted thereon, will Ill succession (mile in contact with the projections 165 of the secondary actuating detents 159 which have been set in the path thereof. Contact ortween a cam 166 and a projection 165 will cause a clockwise movement of the second ary detent 159, which in its movement. through the en agement of the pin 160 with the actuating i ace 161 of the actuating iletent 159, will force the tine 151 thereof into contact with the teeth of the gear 118 and move the said gear forward one-half a tooth space. During this operation thrnose from the notch 163. As a cons 162 of the pawl 156 has been dislodged ucnce, as soon as the cam 166 passes beyon the projection 165, the tail 154 of the actuating detent 149 will be rocked counter-clockwise under influence of the spring 153. This movement of the detent will enga e the tine 152 thereof with the gear 148 an move the said'gear another one-half tooth space and thus effecting a transfer. It is to be understood that the secondary detent 159 and (letent 149 lie on opposite sidesof the disk 147 so that the passage of one gear 148 from 9 to 0 sets the secondary detent 159 associated therewith in such a position that the pin 160 will be brought in contact with the actuating face 161 o the detent 149 of the next higher order so that a subsequent actuation ofa earn 166 will cause a movement of the detent 149 of the next higher order to move its associated gear 148 to effect the transfer as previously cxplaii'ied. The means for rotating the shaft 146 to effect the transfer operation, as above described,'comprises, referring to Fig. 9, a pinion 1162 fast to one end of the shaft 140 which meshes with the teeth 1163 of a segment 1164 which is formed on one end of a lever 1165 pivotally mounted upon the shafi 49. Said lever 1165 is provided with a forked end having-two arms 1166 and 16'? carrying on their outer ends anti-friction rollers 168 and 169 which coiiperate with plates 170 and 171 respectively of a double plate cam fast upon the shaft 42. After the gears 148 have been set by the segments and thrown out of mesh therefrom the segment 1164 is moved clockwise through the me dium of the cam plates 170 and 171 so that the shaft 140 is given :1 revolution which engages the cams 166 with the extensions 165 of the secondary detcnts for effecting the transfer. The shape of the can: plates 1.70 v and 171 are such that after the shaft 14-0 has made approximately three-fourths of a revolution in the direction indicated by the arrow, Fig. 9, the segment 1164 is rocked counter-clockwise so that the shaft 140 rocc1ves a rotation 111 the reverse direction. This reverse rotation of the shaft 140 brings the cams 166 into engagement with the lower sideof the extensions 165 of the secondary detcnts 159 and returns them to their nornuil-position which is shown in Fig. 4. During the movement of a (latent 159 to normal position the nose 162 of the pawl 156 is lodged within the notch 164 made in the saisecondary dctent and provides means for holding it in its normal position. During the time in which the shaft 141) is being revolved to effect the transfer operations of the counter, as above explained. the feed of the check strip. detail strip and ink ribbon takes place.

At the beginning of the last half revolution of the crank handle 27 the pin 39. referring to Fig. 10. carried by the disk 31 engages the star wheel 173 of a Genera movement 174 which through the usual gear train revolves a g-ar 175 one complete revolution during the third quarter of the revolution of the crank handle 27 and the shaft 2h which is driven thereby. The gear 175 is fast upon a shaft (36 which carries the serrated rolls 64 which cooperate with the resilient roll 67 to draw the check strip from its storage roll and cxtrude it through an opening 117-1 made in the cabinet or casing 1. An electrotype 1175 is secured upon the sleeve 65, referring to Fig. 4, which is fast upon the shaft (36 so that during the ex trusion of the check strip an impression is made by the electrotype upon the strip just above the impression made by the type wheels 1!) and platen 57 so that the extruded portion of the strip is printed in the manner illustrated in l ig. 11. The. edge of the brace rod 0 is formed with a knife edge 17? which lies directly beneath the rear edge of the opening 1174 and provides means for severing the printed portion of the-check strip from the remainder of the strip so that the printed portion when severed resembles a check. The electrotype 1175, referring to Fig. 4. is engaged by an ink roll 17G pressed against the electro by means of a spring 1177. The said ink roll is mounted upon a shaft 178 arranged directly above the shield 79 so that the detail strip which passes beneath the said shield will not come in contact with the ink roll 176.

The means for feeding the. detail strip comprises a bell crank lever 179, referring to Figs. 4 and 5. pivotally mounted upon the shaft 84, one arm 180 of the bell crank being provided with a pin 181 fitting within a slot 182 formed in the extreme end of the arm 122. The other arm 183 of the said bell crank carries a spring actuated pawl 184 on its upper end which cooperates with the teeth of a ratchet 185 made fast upon the storage roll 83. A spring pressed retaining pawl 1135 pivoted upon a stud 186 secured to the vertical wall 3 of the. framework also cooperates with the ratchet wheel 18.) and provides means for preventing any retrograde movement thereof. The movement of the arm 122 under the control of the cam plates 1:21 and 127 to rock the bail 118 for returning the segments to normal position,

as heretofore described, through its connection with the arm 180 of the bell. crank 179 moves the pawl l84carrieil thereby rearwardly one tooth space so that the said pawl drops within the next; succeeding tooth of the ratchet 1S5. Darin the return movement of the bail 118 to its normal position the pawl 184 carried by the lever 183 is moved counter-clockwise, rotating the ratchet 185 one tooth space and the feed of -ous with t the detail strip from the su )ply roll 78 to the Storage roll H3 accomplished.

Simultaneous with the return of the bail 118 to its lowered normal position and simultaneous with the feeding movement of the pawl 184 the meclrmism for feeding the ribbon is operated. This means, referring to Figs. :3 and 7, comprises a pin 18? secured in the bottom of an arcular shaped recess 188 made in the. face of the driving gear 4 adjacent the ribbon band 85. This pin roiiperates with a star wheel 189 fast upon the shaft 9-1 and during the last onefourth turn of the crank handle the pin 18? engages the star wheel 189 and moves it one-fourth of a revolution thereby rotating the hub 93 \vhielrfeeds the ink band 85 between the felt ink roll 92 carried by the said hub and the felt inkroll 95 carried by the spring pressed hub 96. In this way the ink band 8.3 is constantly reinked by its passa e between the i rolls 92 and 95.

he functions o the various elements of the register during the adding or flt'tllmlllnw ing operation thereofis as follows: The segments 11 array-first set by means of the handles 13 to positions opposite the integers inscribed on the casing which together represent the amount desired to be accumulated. This settingmovement of the segments rotates ie type wheels geared thereto a distance suliicient to set the wheels commensurate therewith. The operating handle is then moved a slight distance counterclockwise which releases the lock therefor and also throws in the full stroke mechanism. Theffirst initial movement of the crank handle causes the bail 118 to move countcr-clot-kwise and lock the spring actuated aliaing pallets, 105 against the type wheels so that they are prevented from movement during the subsequent impression to be taken therefrom. The further movement of the crank handle cocks and releases the platen 57 through the medium of the levers 46, 53 and cam 43 so that an impression is taken from the type wheels upon the check ,stri) and detail strip. Simultanelie locking of the alining pallets the eohnter frameworks 145 are rocked u wardly a distance suflicient to en age t e gears 148 with the segments 14. he bail 118 is then rotated clockwise which returns the segments 14 to their normal'position therebv setting the gears 148 commensurate with the amount set upon the type wheels 19, the counter framework 145 being rocked counter-clockwise atthe conclusion of the upward movement of the bail 118 and dis engaging the gears 148 from the segments. The further actuation of the crank handle through a Geneva movement feedsthe check is rotated which engages the cams 166 carried thereby with'the secondary detents 15.) and thereby performing the transfer operation of the counter. The last one-fourth movement of the crank handle returns the bail 118 to its normal position and simultaneously therewith feeds the detail strip and ribbon band 85.

The means for taking the total, broadly described, comprisesia key actuatedelement which is designed to rock the gears 14ft into engagen'ient with the segmentsbefore the crank handle is operated. The segments are then moved as far as they will go which sets thetotalizer to zero and transfers the amountaccumulated thereon upon the type wheelsi The cra'irk handle is then turned and theimpression taken in the usual manner, the first fraction of movement of the crank handle throwing out the totalizer.

The total taking mechanism specifically described comprises, referring to Figs. 15, 16 and 17, a key 190 which is'designed to tit within a lock 1 carried by the vertical wall 3 of the framework. ltotatably mounted within the 'casing of the lock 191 is a hub 192 which carries on its inner end a disk 1533 having a short lug 194 and a long lug 195 extending outwardly therefrom. A portion of the periphery of the disk 193 is provided with rntchct'teeth 11 3 which cooperate with a pawl119-l pivotally mounted upon a stud 1195 and held in engagement with the said ratchet teeth by means of a spring 196 strained between the tail 191' of the pawl and a stud 198 carried by the vertical wall 3 of the framework. The disk 193 is provided with a. cut-away portion 11):) to receive a pin 200 carried by a disk E201 secured to the lock casing 191, the said cutaway portiom and in limiting the movement oi the disk 193 in each direction,' as will hereafter be described. The hub 2 is provided with a recess 203 to receive the ends of the key 190. Referring particuluriy to Fig. 5 it will be seen that in their normal position the short lu, 194' rests beneath a forwardly extending hook shaped arm 202 integral with the totalizer rocking framtnvork 139 while the long lur 195 is positioned beneath the arm 135 ol' the bell crank 130, which as previously described, normally engages the pin 136 :md rocks the totalizcr framework 139 for engaging the totalizer gears 148 with the gear teeth 16 of the segments. in the total taking operation the key 190 is inserted in the lock casing 191 until its inner and tits within the recess 203 made in the hub 192. The kev is then turned counterclockwise. which rotates the. disk 1513 until one end oftiic rutout portion 15'!) thereof engages the pin 201) as is shown in Fig. 17.

The rotation of the disk 193 lodges the pawl 119-1 in the last one of the teeth 115. 15 made on the periphery of the disk 19-"). Attention is called to the fact that the teeth 1193 and the pawl 1194 )rovide a full stroke mechanism for the disk 193 which prevents its reversal after its initial movement. The disk 193 upon being turned will lock the key 190 within the lock casing. 191 so that it cannot be removed. The rotation. of the glisk.'193 brings the short stud 194 carried thereby into engagement, with the hook shaped arm 202 and, during the travel of the said stud, lifts the arm Z02 rocking the frame 139 and the totalizer carried thereby upwardly a distance sufiicient to engage the gears 148 with' the teeth 16 of the segments 14. Simultaneous with the engagement between the stud 194 and the arm 202 the long stud 195 enga es the arm 135 of the bell crank 131) and raises this arm a distance suflicient to break its operative connection with the pin 136, so that the movement of the lever 128, hereafter to be described, in its regular sequence of operation will not effect a movement of the totalizer framework 139 in either direction. The hub )ortion of the arm 139 is cut away at the point .204 to permit the upward movement of the urn.- 135. From the foregoing it will be seen that the operation of the key 190 both locks the key and prevents its withdrawal, rocks the gears 148 of the totalizer into engagement with the teeth 16 of the segments and also displaces or renders inoperative the driving connection between the lever 128 and the totalizer rocking framework 139. After the totalizer has been thrown into operative relation with the segments the said segments are moved forwardly as far as they will go. This forward movement of" the segments, referring to Fig. 4, will rotate the gears 148 until the pins 157 carried by the disk 147 engage the upper side of the projections 158 carried by the secondary detents 159. This contact. prevents further rotation of the gears 14S and sets the said gears to zero, during which return to zero operation, the type wheels 19 are set commensurate with t e amount accumulated u on the gears 148 as is readily understood. The crank handle is then revolved which cocks and 101 uses the platen to take an impression in a manner similar to its operation during the accumulating functions of the re 'ster. Due to the direction in which the etail strip is fed, the figures representing the total amount are printed above the individual amounts instead of below as is usual (Fig. 12). Immediately following the impression of the platen. 57 an open com 205 fast upon the shaft 28 moves a. link 206, referring to Fig. .17, to the right. -This link 206 is provided with an elongated slot 207 to receive the shaft, 28 and two anti-friction rollers 208 which engage opposite sides of the open cam 205. The forward end of the link 206 is pivoted at 209 to a lever 210 oivotallv mounted anon on the tail 214 o a stud 211 carried by the vertical wall 3 of the framework. The lever- 210 is provided with a vertically extending portion 212 having a nose 213 adapted to 006 crate with the short stud 194 carried by t e disk 193, and a rearwardly extending tail piece 214 which has a nose 215 adapted to cooperate with a in 216 carried, by the tail 197 of the paw 1194. As reviously stated immediately following o impression of the platen 57 to print the total the link 206 through themedium of the cam 205'is moved to the right. The movement of the link 206 causes a counter-clockwise'rocking of the lever 210 which en es the nose 215 formed the said lever with-the pin 216 of the pawl 1194 and cams this pin downwardly a distance sufiicient to disengage the nose of the pawl 1194 from the teeth 1193 of the disk 193. The further counter-clockwise movement of the lever 210 engages the nose 213 formed on the downwardly extending portion 212 with the short stud 194 carried by the disk 193 and returns this stud to its normal position, as illustrated in Fig. 5. The restoring movement of the disk 193 rmits the arm 202 of the totalizer rocking ramework 139 to dro and thereby disengaging the gears 148 o the totalizer from the teeth 16 of the segments 14. Dun

lug-the end of the movement of the crank handle 27 the link 206 is moved back to its,

normal position as illustrated in ljig. Dis-ring adding or accumulating operations of theregister, the parts-are in the position as illustrated in Fig. 5 and the pin 194 is so far removed from the nose 213 of the lever 210 that the rocking of the said lever does not engage the said pin and during the ac cumulating operations of the register performs no function therein but merely rocks idly. the said lever only performing a useful function during the total takinq operation.

The functions of the various eliements during the total taking operation of the register are as follows: The key 190 is first inserted in the lock casing 191 and turned clockwise. This movementof the key engages the gears 148 of the totalizer with the teeth 16 of the segments 14 and at the same time locks the 'key so that it may notbe removed until the completion of the total taking operation. Also due to the full stroke mechanism coiiporating with the key, it is prevented from removal after it has once been turned an distance whatever until the crank handle 2| has been revolved to release it. After the gears 14% have been engaged with the teeth 16 of the segments 14 the said segments are moved forwardly as faras they will go, their movement being limited by the enga ement of the pins 15 carried by the. disks 147 with the secondary detents 159. at which time the gears 148 are returned to their normal position and the type wheels 19 set commensurate with the amount handle is then rotated to take an impression and immediate y following the release of the laten the link 206 ismoved which throws t 1e tote-lizer out of operative connection with the segmentsand unlocks the ke 190. The further operation of the crank andle causes a feedm extrusion of the checkstri and a feeding of the detail strip and rib n in a manner similar to the functions of these elements durin the accumulating operations. 1
